I was just thinking about this today. I used to carry a buck crosslock, but lost it somewhere. Probably at a customers house, using it for something it wasn't designed to do. Lately I've been carrying a cheap winchester $5 knife I bought down at the wall mart. I like cheap knifes because I can abuse the blade or loose the damned thing and not feel guilty about it.

I really need to go get me a good carry knife. I'll still keep my cheapos for cutting/stripping wires, cutting boxes, makeshift screwdriver, prybar, or whatever else I abuse it for.

on the belt Kbar , and a Kershaw System set ( 3 blades 1 handle) in the pouch
a gerber boot down my boot and on my pack strap A very nice No. 1 of 1000 only made a Remington deer skinner that i won here

and when i get home there'll be another Kershaw that was also won here , and i'm looking forward to seeing that , Cheers to John and TFF

Around the house, it's the Kershaw Storm, out for the day it's usually the Gerber Applegate, Fairbane folder. When hunting it's usually the Schrade Old Timer, Sharpfinger. There is always a Leatherman tool in the car.

i have a cheap-er smith n wesson 'cutting horse' lil curved blade lock blade. has part of the blade regular sharp, then a serated section, small belt clip.. though i keep it int he watch pocket.. has a small thumbhole area ont he blade to make it an asist 1-handed open if you flick your thumb across it nothing fancy.. but I like have a knife with me for utility purposes... and if pressed it is a weapon if I can't get to my carry gun for some reason..

Nothing fancy or very expensive but I always carry two knives with me. I have for many, many years. The Opinel which is made in France is very inexpensive but very strong and is as sharp as a razor. Great for cutting food, rope or whatever. The S&W is stronger and better for protection.

I miss my old buck

Wow, you got me thinking, I used to have a beautiful little Buck knife with a loop for a key ring (got it maybe 40 years back) don't know where it went.

Replaced with my Klien electrican's knife, slightly bigger and a great knife.
